Doherty: Set-piece defense is a big hidden danger for us, and it's frustrating to concede the ball like this

Live bar January 24 news In the 23rd round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur lost 2-0 away to Chelsea, losing to their opponents again after the League Cup.

Ziyech scored the world wave at the start of the second half to give Chelsea the lead, before Thiago Silva took advantage of a set-piece opportunity to head the ball, the fourth goal Tottenham to concede in January in a set-piece defence. Spurs full-back Doherty spoke about the team's set-piece defence in a post-match interview.

"I think the way we conceded the ball was the most frustrating, the first goal was a bit magical and acceptable. But set-pieces are relatively basic and you feel like you have the ability to handle them, but lately we've lost a lot of balls in set-piece defense, so that's a hidden danger for us. ”

Speaking about the effectiveness of Silva's goal, Doherty said:

"Yeah, we didn't feel like the ball was very powerful, I haven't seen the replay of that ball yet, but it was a set-piece loss anyway."

"We didn't do well enough, we have too many goals conceded like this. I think about it, we've conceded set-pieces in the last four or five games, and it's too hasty to let the opponent score such a goal. ”

'It's difficult, the Premier League is a tough league and if you let your opponent score a goal like that, the game won't be easy.'
